Abstract:
... Reproduction, and parental care in particular, are among the most energy-demanding activities within the annual cycle of adult birds. Parents that cannot meet the metabolic demands and other physiological costs of raising offspring may opt to abandon chicks in favour of self-maintenance and future reproduction. Recent work examining reproductive trade-offs in birds revealed an important role of ox ...
hematocrit, etc ; air; blood flow; blood volume; dextran; erythrocyte sedimentation rate; syringes; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... The erythrocyte sedimentation method has been widely used to detect inflammatory diseases. However, this conventional method still has several drawbacks, such as a large blood volume (∼1 mL) and difficulty in continuous monitoring. Most importantly, image-based methods cannot quantify RBC-rich blood (blood) and RBC-free blood (diluent) simultaneously. In this study, instead of visualizing interfac ...

Abstract:
... The aim of this study was to assess the agreement between anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG antibody detection in serum and filter paper (FP) blood spots using the indirect immunofluorescence antibody assay (IFA) and to evaluate the potential impact of the packed cell volume (PCV) on antibody detection in FPs. A pair of a serum and an FP sample was collected from 96 sows at various farms in Greece, with ...

Abstract:
... The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the COP chemotherapeutic protocol on hematological parameters, CD4⁺/CD8⁺ ratio, and the mortality of 18 client-owned FeLV-infected cats with mediastinal lymphoma. The complete blood count, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, and CD4⁺/CD8⁺ ratio were measured four times before treating with chemotherapy in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weeks. ...

Abstract:
... Traits used by dependent young to obtain parental care are often interpreted in the context of offspring–parent communication, with offspring traits offering parents some information about the current condition and future prospects of their young. We tested the hypothesis that offspring traits contain information using an experimental manipulation of the hematophagous swallow bug Oeciacus vicarius ...

Abstract:
... In Bangladesh, the extensive use of fenitrothion on crops and in aquaculture ponds inevitably threatens a range of aquaculture species, including fish, owing to stress responses and physiological disturbances. The present study elucidated the potential toxic effects of fenitrothion on the blood biomarkers (haemato-biochemistry and structure of erythrocytes) of stinging catfish (Heteropneustes foss ...

Abstract:
... This study examines the effect of season-related heat stress in dams on mineral status, and hematological profile of their calves. Ten Holstein dams (LowT group) were exposed to the 49-day-long period of low air temperature (5.2 ± 0.5 °C) and ten dams (HighT group) were exposed to a 53-day-long high air temperature (27.4 ± 0.4 °C). The dams’ blood samples were taken one hour after parturition, whi ...

Abstract:
... To evaluate the effectiveness of orange peels (OP) and banana peels (BP) in reducing the toxicity of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs), Oreochromis niloticus were exposed to Ag-NPs, Ag-NPs + OP, and Ag-NPs + BP for 24, 48, and 96 h. Time-dependent toxicological impacts of Ag-NPs were recorded. The maximum Ag accumulation was in hepatic and renal tissues after 96 h. A marked decrease in red blood cell ...

Abstract:
... This study consists of the evaluation of the anticoccidial effect of Artemisia herba-alba Asso during experimental coccidial infection. Four groups of 30 broiler chickens were formed: the negative control (G1), the positive control (G2), the infected Monensin-treated group (G3), and the infected Artemisia-treated group (G4). Each infected bird received orally 10⁵ sporulated oocysts of Eimeria tene ...
... The aim of the present study is to evaluate the erythrogram and iron serum profiles of neonatal calves born spontaneously or born by elective cesarean section with or without dexamethasone induction. The research was performed on 38 newborn Nellore calves. Three groups of calves were assigned according to the type of birth: calves born by spontaneous vaginal calving (n = 10), calves born by electi ...
... Ammonia and nitrite are two of the most toxic substances for ecosystems and aquatic organisms. The present study aimed to investigate the single and combined effects of ammonia and nitrite on hematological parameters, antioxidant defenses, acetylcholinesterase, and acid phosphatase activities in common carp. First, LC₅₀–96 h of ammonia and nitrite in common carp were determined. Second, fish were ...
... Bacterial transmission between cultured and native fish is potentially of great epidemiological significance. We evaluated horizontal transmission of Francisella noatunensis subsp. noatunensis from Salmo salar (Ss) to Eleginops maclovinus (Em) and vice versa by conducting cohabitation experiments. We detected F. noatunensis DNA in infected fish “Trojans” (fish injected with F. noatunensis) and coh ...

Abstract:
... Municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent is a substantial source of pollution in aquatic habitats that can impact organisms across multiple levels of biological organization. Even though wastewater effluent is discharged continuously all year long, its impacts across seasons, specifically during winter, have largely been neglected in ecotoxicological research. Seasonal differences are ...

Abstract:
... This study evaluated a diverse range of markers of feeding stress to obtain a more precise assessment of the welfare of rainbow trout in relation to inadequate husbandry conditions. A feeding stress model based on dietary soybean meal was employed to identify suitable minimally invasive “classical” stress markers, together with molecular signatures. In a 56-day feeding experiment, rainbow trout we ...
... Amblyomma sculptum and Dermacentor nitens are the most common tick species that affect horses in Brazil. They induce immunological responses, which reflect the intensity of tick infestation and their life cycle. This study compares the development of these ticks feeding on two horse breeds, and the influence of biological parameters and infestation on haematological values. A total of 12 female ho ...
... Continuous efforts in the search for rich food crops or diets are ongoing, and in order to contribute to this effect, this study was designed to identify the processing methods and to evaluate the effect of consuming roselle juice prepared with three plant extracts (pineapple peelings, lemongrass leaves, avocado leaves) and synthetic flavour on some nutritional and biochemical properties in rats. ...

Abstract:
... Iron is an essential nutrient for a child’s proper development at every growth stage. It is crucial for the production of red blood and muscle cells, DNA replication, and the development of the brain, nervous and immune systems. Iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient deficiency in children worldwide. Despite widespread access to nutritional information for children, parents continue to m ...

Abstract:
... Atlantic salmon is an important aquaculture species farmed in ocean net-pens and therefore subjected to changing environmental conditions, including rising temperatures. This creates a need for research on the thermal tolerance of this species for the future of sustainable aquaculture. We investigated the thermal tolerance of individually tagged Atlantic salmon post-smolts subjected sequentially t ...
... Anemia is a highly prevalent disease among older populations, with multiple adverse health outcomes, and particles exposure is a potential risk factor for anemia. However, evidence on associations of exposure to particles with small size with anemia-related blood cell parameters levels in the elderly is limited, and the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Based on a panel study in Beijing, we found ...
